Some perspective

Sometimes I need a bit of perspective. I need to remember where I've come from. I learned to ride a bike pretty much 3 years ago and then didn't do much cycling until this year. I learned to run 2 years ago - honestly! - and did very little running until this year. OK, I swam a LOT from the age of 3 to 11, but then stopped until I was 23, did it for a year, then stopped again until 18 months ago. And I had a bike crash that messed up some of this year's season...

Come September next year, I'll have gone from not being able to run to an Ironman in just over 3 years. From being completely and utterly unfit to Ironman in 3 and a bit years.
